Absolutely true!

Those few developers left should always be supported ...
No developers = no party.

Nobody should support the wretched situation the Amiga (NG) has been in the past fifteen years. It should have been completely boycotted.

Of course not Otherwise the situation in Amiga land had not been wretched like it is.

Gawd... To avoid the wretched situation. If anything should be done it should be done properly.

if cloanto now owns amiga rights so what do they plan or is it just to release amiga workbench . ?
Can we expect they start develop a new machine!. ?

@tangoone,

Maybe they can sanction a new line of FPGA computers and actually call them Amiga then start back at 3.1.1 for more modern workbench that follows the advancements of OS4 a bit more closely of course including the good parts of 3.5 & 3.9. Could be interesting.

Did anyone ever receive one of these from Amiga, Inc.? I've never heard of even one person getting one, and I know that there are people that placed orders for them.

Oh, and btw, I use AmigaOS 4.1...

They don't own the Amiga name hence the new disk sets and CF installs being sold under the Amiga Forever brand.

The exclusive license that Commodore USA had for Amiga branded computers my still be tied up in Barry Altman's estate.

In the event of those rights reverting back to Amiga Inc then any further licensee of the Amiga brand would still be bound by certain conditions written into the settlement agreement between Hyperion and the Amiga parties.

To sell Amiga branded hardware with or for use with an Amiga OS would require a separate contract with Hyperion that supersedes the relevant clauses in the settlement agreement.

@Rob,

Now that sounds interesting. Someone should be looking into that avenue!

@Rob

Exclusive would imply that Amiga Inc. gave up on
Amiga brand but forming Amiga Games Inc. proves
otherwise ?

Or do you think exclusive license to Amiga branded
hardware or more specific license ?

It would be nice of Cloanto if it offered Kickstarts to
developers working on FPGA hardware solutions for
some symbolic fee and being mentioned in credits but
since Franko isn't here I will state in his place that
all Amiga owners own their own kickstarts that came
with their Amigas

@tangoone

Well I am not really into these gossip ... I await for real facts ... we see what happens.

The license was only for branding hardware with the Amiga name and other trademarks. Amiga Inc stated from the start that they weren't interested in being a hardware company so it was a win-win situation for them.
